I used to hate refried beans. I wouldn’t touch them, and every time we went out for Mexican, I went through this hassle of making sure that my plate was bean-free. Once I gave them a chance, though, I found out that they weren’t so terrible, and these days, I absolutely love them. And I have to say, this homemade refried bean recipe was so much better than anything I’ve ever found at the grocery store, and it was even better than many of the beans that I’ve had in Mexican restaurants. I will definitely be adding this dish to the regular side dish rotation for the nights that we have Mexican meals. These had such a great flavor from the added garlic, onions, and salt, and the consistency was so much better than a lot of refried beans that I’ve had. There’s nothing worse than refried beans that run across your plate (gross, I know). These are thick, healthy (well, without my mound of cheese…) and delicious.
